What will I do for the back wheel to match the  new front wheel ?  or just keep the 86 rim . I think I can get the fzr rear wheel . will that fit or to wide

Thanks again for all your help

Bill,

The easiest wheel mod is as follows.

The 90'-93' GSXR750 wheel looks just like a OEM FJ wheel, and it is 17" x 5.5"

Follow this mod exactly as written and all will be great.

Here is a list of what you would need and the current prices on eBay.

Wheel - $50.65.
New wheel bearings - $28.34.
New Rotor - $42.70.
Sprocket, carrier, and cushdrive - $59.99.
Caliper and hanger - $47.50.
Torque arm - $29.31.
Left hand inner spacer - $23.81.
Right hand spacer - $21.64.
Left Hand spacer $16.73.

These prices include all shipping costs and come in just over $300.00 total. Add in another $100.00 to get the wheel powder coated the color you choose and you are all set. Zero machining, zero modifications. This is a direct bolt on mod with the addition of two 4mm thick washers as additional axle spacers. $5.00 at the local hardware store.
I'm not the fastest FJ rider, I am 'half-fast', the fastest slow guy....

Thanks Again  Fellows

  I just looked up the FZR 1000 wheel and see its 18"x 4.5 " s  so I guess the GSXR swap looks favorable .  I will have to ditch my 16 " tires now ouch !!  I think they have only 800 miles on them.
 
There is so much info on here its easy to get lost , much like interweb surfing going off on a tangent and never find what you were originally looking for.
thanks for the links . :good:
